My preloader didn't load up the HBC. That's to be expected, actually, considering I installed preloader on my Wii like over a year or so ago and I JUST updated HBC like the other day.

I really don't know about any hermes cios when I updated uloader. I just had it update itself. I didn't have to install anything else.

I'll give the updater thing a shot right now.

Edit: Once I update, should I reinstall preloader? Edit: I answered my own question (I do have to reinstall). Alright, I'm going to give updating a shot.

I set autoboot to Systemmenu and nothing. It still does the black screen thing, so I set it back to disabled, but well, I guess I now have 4.1 firmware on my Wii.

Whoa, actually, I tried testing it again on autoboot to Systemmenu and it loaded up twice in a row before doing the black screen thing again (like, I turned my Wii on three times and it booted the systemmenu fine the first two times). But now, there are hacks for the Systemmenu (I try selecting Systemmenu hacks).

I just tried it six times without the SD card in and autoboot to Systemmenu, and it worked perfectly all six times. Hmm...

I just did the same thing again with the SD card inside it and it worked perfectly again, with the difference that it was taking just a little longer to load.

Looks like this problem is somehow fixed, although I'm not entirely sure how. Now I'm worried about those systemmenu hacks not being available...

Hmm, I tried out a couple of channels that were installed via Wad and they work fine, even from the SD Card menu. uloader still plays games, however, now my copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy asks me to update my Wii (from the disc channel), but it looks like I can still play the game using uloader. And I can still play all my imports, so that's good too. So all I'm missing is the Skip System Update Check hack for my legit US games if I want to just play them from the CD.

I should mention that I looked through some threads looking for a hacks.ini for use with 4.1U, but I haven't found anything that works.
